So Mxy gives Kara an ultimatum: say I do, or bad things will happen to her world.
Even though their quarrels quickly stopped being charming, I did appreciate the way they were directed and shot.
There was dynamism to them that isnt often present in the shows more talky scenes.
And their loving arguing did make this feel more like a rom-com.
In fact, it was quite the opposite.
Maggies parents kicked her out, and she had to go live with an aunt.
Alex tries to comfort Maggie, but Maggie runs out of the apartment.
Its the typical rom-com we shouldnt be together speech weve seen on this show several times.
He flips out and orders the Jor-El statue to attack her, but she makes quick business of that.
With no other option, Kara decides to go nuclear.
You wanna get nuts?
Lets get nuts, Kara says, in a great reference to Tim BurtonsBatman.
Kara seals the Fortress and sets the Fortress atomic cauldron to self-destruct.
Either Mxy agrees to leave Earth alone, or they both will die in the reactors explosion.
The only way to thwart a trickster is make them say their name backwards.
You nasty woman, says Mxy, explaining that he was only trying to find love in the universe.
As hes sucked back to the Fifth Dimension, Kara tells you cant force love.
But alls romantic and well that ends well.
With that cleared up, the couple share their first real kiss.
Its fine, I guess.
Meanwhile, Maggie, at Karas urging, decides to give in to Valentines Day for Alex.
The song chosen for the scene is terrible, but that doesnt ruin the moment at all.
Its just so darn romantic and warm.
Maggie and Alex continue to be the best part of the shows current season.
However, Maggie and Alex and Kara and Mon-El arent the only ones who find love in tonights episode.
Winn ends up meeting an alien named Lyra from his favorite planet, and they immediately hit it off.
She asks him out for Valentines Day.
Winn makes reservations at a fancy restaurant, but Lyra just wants to hook up.
Im interested in seeing where the show goes from here.
